Valentine's Day (also known as Singles Awareness Day) is either a happy day, unhappy day, or just any other day. No matter where you fall, it's another day of eating :) Let's celebrate with a pink drink of deliciousness that also packs a protein, collagen, & vegetable punch... because gainz and smooth skin/hair/nails await, whether you're single or coupled!

Food bloggers everywhere are doing this event is because we want to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.
Did you know that cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S.? There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. With less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute's budget going to all childhood cancer combined, I knew it was important for me to get involved.
Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids' Cancer! Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because these three companies: Dixie Crystals, Land O’Lakes and Mediavine have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!!!
Currently, we have raised: $1,515 we are a little over HALF WAY towards our $3000 goal, will you help us with a donation today? Every little bit helps!

Since this is a Valentine's themed event, I decided to whip up a healthier version of a paleo/glutenfree cookie with a Cupid-esque flair. This recipe minimizes sugar and butter, substituting applesauce instead. Applesauce substitutes are pretty tricky, especially with cookies (it's more forgiving in cakes), but I wanted to find a way to cut fat/calories without sacrificing taste and texture.
